Horde Mode, New Add On And More Added To Quake Remastered In New Update

Bethesda and Nightdive have released Update 2 for the re-release of Quake

Update 2 contains a brand-new Horde Mode made by MachineGames with 1-4 player co-op (including optional bots), new Add-on “Honey”, some quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes.

It also marks the Quake release on the Epic Games Store (for PC). With Horde Mode you can play solo, with bots, or friends, and face off against waves of enemies of increasing difficulty. Earn Silver Keys to unlock access to better weapons. Survive long enough and earn a Gold Key, which will allow you to escape, or stay behind and fight against the armies of Quake until you fall
